Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

[07Burb]

Me either. I see some negative posts on here from some though. About warped rotors, rusted rotors. Mine have been fine and the ones on my daughter's car too.

Agreed. Never had an issue with mine warping or rusting

Nothing worse when they're right next to you screaming...complaining....just being a huge PITA!!!

Lol yuo

Why would you want it to fail for something?
How much of a gap will you have between the frame and rear if it's trimmed 1"?

Great to know. Thx. Price was great too.

Oh yeah. I wanted to show Morris something he missed. They need to fail something every now and then or they start getting looked at by the powers that be.
Is good to build a good relationship with these guys. They show you the odd thing, and pass it because they know you are the guy gets it done. Was a cheap fix and the start of my Suspension tidy up

I can understand that. Damn governments! Guess it doesn't matter what side of the pond you're on.

My abs sensor came in. Sux because I could've sworn it said quantity of 2--it was only 1.

Original GM tho.
Now that I got all my brake parts it's gonna rain through the weekend.
Lots of parts building up!

Stupid Murphy lol! The governor of NJ is named Murphy too lol!
So I guess my parts have to sit. Still gotta do my upper and lower steering shafts.

 

[Rocket Man]

might when it gets hot. that pesky p0300 code should be deleted with a cam. the lope and chop is pretty much a misfire, sooo lol you have a blower on that truck too? might need new plugs if running copper core plugs, they only last like 12-15,000 miles. puts you back on the old school days of a tune up once a years.

Yeah, I was running copper plugs snd they always worked good but I got about 10k out of them so I replaced them with iridium this time. Might need to go back to copper.

Hey Tony
What are you running in the way of powersteer fluid? Am down at suoercheap and the guy here reckons I can use gulf western Atf in it

I use regular power steering fluid. Nothing fancy. I've read people do and can use atf, but I'll stick with the pwr steering stuff.

Thanks mate. I wasn't keen to my self either so I gave it 3 flushes with this and am happy.

You can use atf in a pinch.

 

[Tonyrodz]

You can use atf in a pinch.

So the 2 can be mixed together?

 

[pwtr02ss]

So the 2 can be mixed together?

Yes. But you can't run PS fluid in a trans. Obviously, if you have power steering fluid, use it. If you don't and have some atf, dump it in there

 

[97YukonNZ]

Yeah the guy was telling me DX3 atf is all good. Thought the viscosity would be all wrong but when I was topping up the trans later it looked very similar so go figure ayy? Learn something every day

 

[cooki3mnster]

Yes. But you can't run PS fluid in a trans. Obviously, if you have power steering fluid, use it. If you don't and have some atf, dump it in there

Done this countless times. ATF works in PS system, but PS fluid DOES NOT work in the transmissio.

Waiting for Elsa to come visit starting tomorrow morning. I'm on the Jersey shore so we're supposed to get some 50 mph gusts and heavy rain, supposedly 4-5". Hopefully it won't flood really bad! The Hoe is parked on the street. We've been here almost 6 yrs and it's only flooded maybe 2-3 times--and when it did, it didn't last very long. Fingers crossed.

Hey yeah
Saw some pics of flooding on an earlier post of yours from 17-18 I think. You had the hoe up hard against your fence. There was a lot of water. Hope it's not like an ex missus' blew hard when she came and took everything when she *******.e.d off!

 

[97YukonNZ]

I was just having a look for what's happening over tour way. Hope you guys will be okay. Looks like the coastline is right in the path of this thing. Keep safe. Hope it's no worse than the flooding you have had in the past.

Thx for the well wishes Tony. I'm hoping it'll be fine. Not gonna be anything like Sandy. Now THAT was a storm to remember.

Yeah, that was one of the worst since I've been here, nothing really that bad since. My neighbor across the street was getting around in a kayak lol.

EDIT--I see you have a Samsung phone! Did we discuss which one you have?
